Amazing Day Trip with Andreea - Spent a wonderful day hiking with Andreea. She was an incredible guide who told us many stories of Romania’s history and was incredibly knowledgeable about hiking and mouintaneering. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to spend the day off the beaten path, one of the best things we did in Romania!

Amazing Hiking Experience in Piatra Craiului - I recently had the privilege of hiking through the stunning Piatra Craiului mountains, and I cannot recommend our guide, Mihai, enough! From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the area, sharing fascinating insights into the local environment, scenery, wildlife, and old legends. Mihai knew the trails very well, ensuring the group always felt safe, even on the more challenging paths. He also made sure everyone was comfortable with the hiking pace. I would highly recommend taking this hiking tour!

Hard, beautiful hike - Alex was a great guide and this was a beautiful hike! I wasn't aware of just how hard this hike would be (1000 meters/3200 feet) of elevation gain over about 4 miles, which included rock scrabbling and using a cable assist in 2 places but it was well worth it! I was grateful Alex let me use his hiking poles on the way down because it is VERY steep and my legs were like overcooked spaghetti noodles by the time we started decending.

An accessible hike in an astonishing place - Mihaj was kind and hugely knowledgeable about the astonishing biodiverse environment in the National Park. We even had Romanian fairy tales along the way. This is not a Sunday afternoon walk, you need proper boots and water, but nor is it a hike for the super fit athlete. The Carpathian mountains are a truly spectacular happy place. Strongly recommended.

Trekking in the Carpathian mountain's - I booked a day trekking trip for myself and my son to see the beauty of the Carpathians  mountains. We certainly were not disappointed, our guide Mihai was first class in every way and gave us a detailed safety talk before we commenced then pointed out the amazing flora and forna along the way. All in all probably the highlight of our trip to Brasov

The land, the people, the place. - The hike is a great way to stay within your ability level and still see and experience some amazing scenery. Our guide was so knowledgeable and generous it was value add on value add. Not only a great way to appreciate the natural environment, but also the history and culture of a unique people and their country.

Breathtaking views - Andreea gave us the best tour we've ever had in our lives. The route was breathtaking and with the best sceneries we've seen, but most of all, she was so knowledgeable, approachable, friendly and patient. She made us feel not only safe, but inspired and confident. We learned so much about the Carpathians, Romania and so much more. We can't wait to come back to Romania and go on another hike under her guidance.
